Brief Description:

Addressing the risks associated with vehicle blind spots and manoeuvring vehicles, including reversing, is an essential part of fleet safety policies and procedures. In this seminar, academic and practitioner speakers will look at current developments relating to these critical issues, including technological solutions such as vehicle-side cameras and additional mirrors, as well as measures such as driver training techniques. The seminar includes a demonstration of technological solutions and a demonstration of a driver education programme to raise awareness of how cyclists and pedestrians can be hidden in blind spots. In addition, a leading fleet manager will present a case study of how they have implemented some of these techniques successfully.
